The top-ranked bureaucrats, who timed their business trips and official meetings in Israel to the match, are also expected to attend the event that is so vital for Russia’s chance to advance to Euro 2008.
Russia’s fans paid over a million dollars for the seats, having ensured a half of the aggregate revenues generated through tickets.
In the so-called gold VIP-area of the stadium, the Russians bought 160 tickets, $2,000 each. In the silver zone, they bought 700 tickets, $1,000 each. A privileged area has been created in the stadium in addition, which covered the first 20 rows of the central stand.
